Dicyclomine Hydrochloride + SimethiconeThird Party Manufacturing in India

Dicyclomine Hydrochloride works by blocking the action of acetylcholine at parasympathetic sites in smooth muscle, secretory glands, and the central nervous system. This direct relaxant effect on the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract relieves spasms and hypermotility.

Simethicone is a mixture of polydimethylsiloxanes and silicon dioxide. It acts as a non-systemic surfactant that decreases the surface tension of gas bubbles embedded in the mucus of the GI tract. This biological effect helps the body consolidate small gas bubbles into larger ones, which are then more easily expelled through belching or passing flatus.

By combining an antispasmodic with an antifoaming agent, the medication simultaneously addresses the mechanical pressure of trapped gas and the painful smooth muscle contractions it causes. Unlike single-agent therapies, this combination provides dual-action relief. It is highly effective and well-tolerated for infants and children suffering from acute abdominal colic.

Therapeutic Uses

Dicyclomine Hydrochloride and Simethicone drops or liquid are prescribed for the treatment of:

• Infantile Colic: Relieves the intense abdominal pain, cramping, and crying spells in babies caused by GI spasms.
• Gastrointestinal Spasms: Relaxes the smooth muscle of the gut to treat cramping associated with functional bowel disorders.
• Flatulence and Trapped Gas: Facilitates the easy passage of gas, reducing bloating, pressure, and fullness.
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Assists in managing pain and altered bowel habits linked to smooth muscle hyperreactivity.

Why Manufacturers Choose This Combination

The Dicyclomine and Simethicone combination is a fundamental pediatric and gastroenterology formulation. Because infantile colic and functional GI distress are incredibly common, there is a massive, year-round demand for reliable anti-colic drops and syrups. The combination is easy to formulate into palatable, flavor-masked liquids, ensuring high pediatric compliance.

This makes the Dicyclomine and Simethicone formulation one of the most sought-after products for third party manufacturing in India, with consistent demand from PCD franchise operators focused on pediatric segments and export-oriented companies serving emerging markets.
